#4850 was first assigned in 1961 and may have been assigned multiple times over the years. Due to the research time involved, I will only look it up if information is provided about the year of Airstream it is found on. For example, it this number is on a 1970's Airstream, there is little reason to take the time to research to whom it may have been assigned in the 1960s. I hope you understand.

Understood. Thanks Joe. The number is currently on a 2014 Flying Cloud, and I know who that one belongs to.

Thank you for the info on 15901. I purchased the MH in Ohio November 2015 and brought it back to Alberta Canada. It had been in storage for 5+ years and I am in the process of putting it back into travel condition.

I am pretty confident that the Jasmers had my unit. There was a very distinct and large Minnesota decal on both side of the unit. I found his obituary, and it seems that he and I shared a common profession as LA teachers

There are some other ghost numbers that I can not make out too. How it got from MN to WA, where we bought it, I will never known. I do sure plan to make many new memories. Since 8815 is available, I will also strongly consider joining the WBCCI.

I purchased my1991 AS Excella 25 vin 1STGEAJ26MJ508142 from Janice and Phil Osborn in California.

There is a dealer's plague from Jack and Patty Fast's Cascade Trailer Sales, Eugene Oregon.

It has ghost number 2873

I have not joined WBCCI yet, as I have been spending heavily on getting it set up to my liking. Still have to do axles and tires, which is a big hit for me. Once the rig is ready to hit the road I will join, my local chapter.

Can you help with ownership history of this unit?

Thank You

Hi Bob,
The club does not keep records of the Airstreams owned by members, so I cannot provide anything definite. What I can do, though is provide some information about who was assigned the number 2873 since your 1991 Airstream was built. At least one of those previously owned you Airstream. According to WBCCI Membership Directories, #2873 has been assigned as follows since 1991:
1991: Unassigned.
1992-97: Steve & Jan Mondl, Barberton, OH, no caravans.
1998-2001: Unassigned.
2002: Jeoffrey & Cheryl Feil-Morgan, Bradenton, FL, no caravans.
2003: Unassigned.
2004-05: Phil and Jan Osborn, Yrenko, CA, no caravans.
2006-07: Unassigned.
2008-Current: Assigned to a current club member from Louisiana.

From this information we can see that the Osborns were the ones to be club members in 2004 & 2005 while they owned your Airstream. It is unlikely that any of the other couples I mentioned owned it, given the geographic distances involved and the periods of unassignment before reassignment. That said, given that #2873 was unassigned in 1991, but was then assigned in 1992 to the Mondl's that would have joined during 1991 and that may have joined with a brand new 1991 Airstream at that time, if it could be established that the Osborns were not the first owner, it might be possible that the Mondl's also owned it. A long shot, but not impossible.

Get out and use that Airstream - they are best when being used! We will welcome you to the club when you are ready to join, but unfortunately #2873 is currently used. You should be able to get something close if you desire . . . or maybe something like 12873.

Hi all,
I just purchased a 1978 Airstream International Ambassador 28ft. with red numbers on it: 13303. Would anyone be so kind as to look up that number in your directories? Two WBCCI directories from the '90's came with the trailer, but 13303 is not in there. Thank you so much for your help!
